    Constituent Concern Updates

    Councilmember Joey Manahan, Saint Anthony Church in Kalihi, Kokua Kalihi Valley, Philippine Red Cross and LBC Remitance are partnering to set up drop-off centers for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.

    Since the super typhoon hit Tacloban, Philippines, many Hawaii residents have sought ways to reach out to the families of victims and survivors alike. “As a response to the outpouring of kind donations from residents who want to help in some way other way than giving cash donation, we are organizing drop off centers in the Kalihi area, specifically Saint Anthony and Kokua Kalihi Valley (KKV). We are grateful for the generosity of local residents. These will go a long way to families in the devastated areas who continue to suffer in the aftermath of this catastrophe,” says Councilmember Joey Manahan.

    Donations accepted include canned goods, blankets, toiletries, towels, socks, light jackets and rice. Donations will be accepted from November 15 until November 30. All goods received will be shipped to relief centers in Tacloban courtesy of LBC Remittance Foundation.

    Councilmember Joey Manahan officially announced the opening of the drop-off centers on November 15, 2013 at Saint Anthony Church.
